Rangers fans

One of my favorite moments would be towards the end of Gretzky's run with the Rangers. He did a no-look behind the back pass to maybe Kovalev. It goes right to him, but bounces off his stick into the corner. From behind me I hear a Ranger fan yell "ugh, trade Gretzky! That bum! I could score his 9 goals!" At the time I believe Gretzky had something like 50 - 60 assists. I like to think the same guy was at the Garden a few weeks later for Gretzky's last game, cheering him like he spent 20 years playing there.

That and sometime in the late 90's when they had the kiss-cam, and at the end showed 2 male Ranger fans. Behind me, a guy says to his 6 year old "wouldn't be funny if dey was (slang term for homosexual) and dey kissed??"

I have been reading these boards for quite some time but was too lazy to create a username, until now! i have been a huge Devils fan since the late 90's.

in regards to rangers fan and how much they piss us off, i have a story from last year after game 6 ( conference final)

I was lucky to attend that game ( and it wasnt cheep lol) but after henrique scored that goal it was all worth it. my section had a few rangers fans in it ( but ALOT less than the usual Devils-rangers game)

They obviously were talking and saying the old " you cant sell out games" " fatso" ... the usual. i usually try not got into verbal arguments, let alone fights during games. And after the Devils won i i didnt need to say anything.

BUT my freinds being those type of fans ( the ones that will get into arguments, figts, etc) , they couldnt resist an awesome oppurtunity to stick to all those rangers fans.

We ended up going to NYC after the game, and more specifically to MSG ( and the surrounding bars alll filled with bitter rangers fans). We went into all those bars with our devils jerseys and just gave every rangers fan so much sh!t. we litterally were on the verge of getting beat to the ground, until other devils fans came in!

Obviously all those rangers fans couldnt say anything , except for those " err you cant sell out games" bs.

After a few hours the bars started to close and we went back to Jersey. It was probably one of the greatest games ( probably the greatest) that i have ever attended. walking through midtown NY wearing our devils jerseys, giving rangers fan sh!t, and celebrating with other Devils fans ( you would all be surprised how many we came across) made it even so much better.

lucky! i wouldve attended that game, but i was in the hospital thanks to bullies. i got to watch it on tv and the nurses came in because they thought my screaming (HENRIQUE! ITS OVER! at that moment) was screaming in pain! they come in all "whats the situation?" and i just say loudly "DEVILS GOING TO THE FINALS!!!" doctor says "dont scare me like that!" "you thought i was in trouble?" "no i meant with the thought of the devils going there!" "they just did!" "*walks out*"

You probably crossed my paths or I probably walked into one of the bars you were in haha... I was in the city right after the game, what a night.

Ranger fan tweet to me when I was submitting lots of votes for Brodeur to get on the cover of NHL 14:
"no one likes marty. not enough devils fans. if he wins its rigged"
He's a buddy of mine but I find it hilarious that he, like nearly all Ranger fans, are completely unable to look at hockey objectively.. I told him to take off his red and blue painted tinfoil hat
Edit: After calling him out for being unable to at least respect Marty's achievements he tweeted:
"i can objectively respect brodeur but ill always subjectively hate his guts"

Regarding what he said after you called him out- that's about right. Ranger fans should hate Marty- but they should also respect him, and I think most do. Its like the way I feel about Messier. I fvcking HATE Messier. HATE him. I don't even know if 'hate' is a strong enough word to describe how I feel about Messier, because I absolutely detest him. But I respect what he accomplished. Dude was a winner, period. And one of the best to ever lace 'em up. But man do I hate that fvck.

After meeting Messier a couple of times in person, I have to say I lost all respect for him and hate him just as much as a person as I do as a hockey player.

He is notorious for being a complete dick to everyone, even his own fans and that includes women and children too.

That's the thing. He didn't say anything to me and he rarely says anything to any fans unless he is being paid. Go on any game worn or sports (hockey) collectible forums and Messier is usually near or at the top of everyone's list of which player is the nastiest in person and basically refuses to sign any autographs except for events where he is paid. There are many stories floating around of him making kids cry because he flat out tells them he will not sign their item when they approach him. I've seen this in person years ago outside of MSG with my brother (who is a big Rags fan) and I lost any tiny shred of respect I had for him.

DevsMan, I think you've made me hate Messier even more with some of your stories, and I didn't think that was possible. So not only is he a glory hound, he's a fvcking phony douchebag too. I'm not really surprised. fvck Messier.
